One Sunday , last summer , a person , whose feelings we 00 not envy , got access to it , and actually put out the eyes of lie little songster . In this dark state it was restored to its owner , who ,-by careful attention , taught it to find itB way to the Eted-box and the waier-glass .

      " COMPLETE SUFFRAGE" MOVEMENTS . The Stnrge men in Lee < is are feeling thfir way very cautiously . They hr . ve begun a series of Ward meetings in the various parts of the town , of which it seems the first was held on Thursday evening , at the Swan with Two Necks Inn , Woodhonse . Dr . Smile ? , acd several other Sturge men , from Leeds , attended , and the rocm was well filled , more than 200 persons being present . Mi . Lapish was called to the chair . The Dcc ; or delivered a somewhat lengthy wishey wnshey lecture on the primsiples of Chartism , which was listened to with p : tience . After which a feeler was put forth as to the temper of the meeting re-? p&c : ing the formation cf a local Complete Suffrage Union . It was discovered to be " 20 go . " ana the thicg was abandoned in favonr ef the following resolution : —Proposed by Mr . Glover , and seconded by Mr . Wm .

      Feamley" That this meeting approves of the principles of As ' njt Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , Equal Electoral Distriots , Payment of Members , axd 2 vo Property Qualification . " To this there could , of course , be no objection , and it passed unanimously . The party being then asked why they did not , since they professed Chartist principles , enrol themselves as Chartist 3 . Mr . Glover delivered himself of a . tirade against Ftargus O'Connor , and Messrs . Hill and Hobson . Ho was permitted to exhaust his small stock of denunciatory elrquence , when Mr . Wh . Scott observed that he rather suspected that Mr . Giover and his fr i .-nds had got to a very bad market for the commodity they were now offering—abuse of Feargus O'Connor . However to test the matter be would submit a resolution . He then proposed , and Mr . Wm . Abbott

      seconded—That this meeting places the most implicit confidence in Feargus O'Conner , Esq ., as a public leader , and begs to tender their most grateful thanks to that gentleman for his noble , manly , and patriotic exertions in the people's cause ; and they hereby pledge tkemielves to stand by hiwi go Iodc as he stands trne to the people and their Charter . " Tbis being Eeconded by Mr . ¥ m . Abbott was carried , with eleven dissentients . The Suffragists , no little flabbergasted , drew in their horna , and " looked as if they could not help it . " Dr . Smiles , being asked to instrt the resolutions of the meeting —his own meeting—in his paper , refused to do so , unless paid for them as an advertisement !

      Well done Woodhouse ! The " lads" did their work well . We hope every other V . ' ard will do likewise .

About twelve o ' clock , the rain fell in torrents , and , the wind then blowing a strong gale ,

The Dart smack has brought in a ship ' s mainrna ' t and rigging , and the Southend watermen have uot been so busy for some time .

      Ireland —Poor Law Affray at Skibbereen . — The following version of this sad affray is given by the Cork Examiner , Radical paper , of Monday fcvcniug : — " In cur last we mentioned hurriedly that one man had been shot dead and three wounded . It appears that on Saturday night a second man died in the workhouse , to which place he bad been removed , and was under the care of Dr . Donovan , who was aiisious to have amputated his If g , but he would not submit to the operation—eventually mortification set in , and be died . There are tow two dead , and five badly wounded , one of these beyond hopes of recovery . It is impossible to describe the state of alarm into which the poor people are thrown by these horriblo events . Bonfires blaze on all the hills to within a distance of eight miles cf the scene of this sad

      catastrophe every night , lighting up the darkness , and communicating the intelligence to a large didr trict of country . On Saturday reports were flying in all quarters , that the people were assembling in masses to attack ihe town ai . d raz 3 ~ the workhouse to the ground , in consequence of which the authorities were all on the alert , and a body of 163 of-the military with six officers proceeded from Kir . sale to Sk ' . bbereen , together with thirty-two more from Bandon , and troops of police trom all quarters were ordered , and had marched for the town , in addition to which large fene , two troops of Hussars from this city have marched to the scene of action . The General , Sir Octavius Carey , and Lord Bernard are also on the spot . On yesterday it was attempted to proceed with the inquest ; however , the friends ' of

      the deceased , and those concerned for them , remonstrated against this proceeding , and it was accordingly determined that the inquest should be gone ori with at ten o ' clock this morning , beforeMr . Franklin Baldwin , coroner for the county , who had arrived ; g the town for that purpose . The rate-collector concerned in the transactions , who lives one quarter of a mile from the town , was obliged to leave his residtnoe and come into Skibbereen for protection , and twelve police-men are placed rcund bis lodgings to save him from the fury of the people . It is said that two countrymen are taken up who were lying in wait to wreak

      summary veDgcance upon this obnoxious functionary . There are various opinions Bloat as to whp the magistrate was who gave the word to fire , As this fact must be elicited this day ; , on Ihe inquest now going en , we refrain from mentioning anynamf-e , but this we assert that there is one but opinion amongst all parties , the most moderate , and the most-ultra Government partisans , that the firing on the people was wholly unnecessary , and that there was a wan ^ ton shedding of klcod . The affair as it stands strikes us with pain and horror , but the matter is s « 6 Hte , and until we have the evidence we shall not prematurely make any statements , lest we might be prejudging any party .

      SPAIN . —Perpignan , Nov . 10 . —A courier , which left Barcelona the day before yesterday- has just arrived . The diligence of Barcelona had not reached Figueras . The evacuation of Barcelona by the troops is confirmed . The General Zavala is in the hands of the insurgents . They speak of three officers and 500 men having been killed . A popular junta , had besn installed . It is composed of men but little known . The President is Don Juan Manual Corey . It had published a proclamation ; which recommends to the workmen " Union and Constancy , " and does not say one word of the Queen , Espartero , Don Carlos , or of tbe aim of the insurrection . LleEtjuic , occupied by the troops , fires upon the town continually . This citadel is in the power of the rioters . They write on the 17 th from Valtntia that troopshave been sentfor the Mesestraxz .

      Barcelona , Nov . 17 . —The troops were engaged in the streets on the 15 th , at eight in the morning . After three hours fighting and a Joss of 500 men killed and wounded , the Captain-General , seeing that the windows and terraces of the houses , were occupied in all the city , by the firmed National Guard , retired into the citadel with his staff and two ngiments . The other regiment and the Artillery have gone to Altarrazaua ? . The remaiuder of tbe day was employed in making preparations on one tide and the other . On the 16 ih there was a firing both of musketry and cannon a preat part of the day . All the streets were barricaded . The garrison of the citadel was without provisions . The citadel threw shells into the town during the night . This morning before day the troops evacuated the

      citadt-1 and went out of the towD , leaving the place in the possession of the insurgent militia , of which the number was increased by the militia ef the neighbouring towns and villages . The fort of Montjuichad likewise thrown shells into the quarters of the municipality . A junta has been formed , and it signed a capitulation with the regiment of Guadalaxaia which had . remained shut up in the buildi&g of the university . The general commanding the military force tad asked of the junta what the intentions of the people were , and he proposed tc come to an understanding , for the purpose of avoiding greater disasters , and stop the destruction of the city . The overtures thus made succeeded . They are negotiating at present . No inhabitant had been menaced in person or property . All the French inhabitants had been respected , and the Counsul had receiv « d

      assurance that he bad nothing to fear . The royal brig , le Meleager , had given an asylum to several Spanish refugees . The commander had received on board the family of the Captain-General . It is thought that the movement , the object of which w not yet known , will spread to all Catalonia , at Saragossa and Valentia . The members of the Junta say that there is no conspiracy , and that the pecple had spontaneously taken up arms to defend their rights , attacked by the imprisonment of the editor of the jourral called the i ? cp « 6 / tcano , andby the orders given by tho Government to submit to the military enlistment . Tho provincial deputation had been called by the Junta to take measures of « rder and scenrityfrom the very commencement of the revolt . The seven constitutional Alcades had taken refuge on board the Melesger . The surrender of the Altarrazanas has taken place .

      Mr ; MijcitEt . L then came forward , and in an appropriate speech moved the following resolution : — ;' . ' . " That we sympathize with our unfortunate fellow cpuntryinen . who have fallen a prey to the ' recent cruel and unconstitutionttt proceedings of an anti * national- . Goveriimeut , -and firmly resolve to usa every moral aiid legal meflua in our power to miugate the uiijust sentences which have been inflicted upon theisi . ' * : v v ¦ -. ' ¦ ' . . ' .. '¦ ¦' Mr .

The qurstiqn" was , when would the working people of this country make the Government sympathise

      with such men ?¦ It was only by the union of the wprkingclasses that we could compel the Government of this country to do justice to those who produce : all . the . wealth , and who receive but a small pittance of that which they produce . The time had come when they . should tell the Government of the / country * in language not to be misunderstood , that if they ( the people ) were to have no votes , ithey would pay ho taxes ; and when the working peoplp Were prepared to tell the " Government-that he would forfeit Wb head if they should persecute a single man of those who made that declaration . They were assembled , he hoped , not only to

      sympathise with those men who were suffering for the cause of ; freedom ,. but they were assembled to tell the Government- that the prosecutions should stop , or else every man of us should be locked , up in quod . ( Approbation . ) _ He trusted the working classes would show the Government , that although Lord Abinger transported our fellow townsmen , we were not to be daunted by any such persecution . Having expressed his regret at the circumstance which prevented Mr .. O'Connor from attending the meeting , Mr . Carter concluded by hoping that the working men would unite and show the Government that tbey were not to be put down by prosecutions .

      The resolution was then put from the chair and carried unanimously . Mr . Webb then moved , and Mr . John Hallinson seconded , the folio wing resolution , which was carried by acclamation : — " . That our ' .. heartfelt grafcitudeisdue to the noble champion ,- T . S . Duncombe , Esq . V M . P ., for his noble exertions on behalf of the toiling and unrepresented millions ; and that we will stand by him as long as he stands by the cause of freedom . " Mr . DuiscoMBE then rose , and was received with every possible demonstration of regard . He said it

      was only the previous . evening , and about the same time , when he was endeavouring to thank tho men of Manchesfier for the very kind . reception , which they gave him at their ball . It was now his duty to thank the good men and true—and . he might add , ' the good women and true of Stockport , for a similar manifestation of kindness . Having passed a well merited eulogium on Mr . Leaderj and aJEo on Mr . Wallace of Scotland , for their exertions on behslf of-the-people ,: Mr . Dunsombe proceeded to notice the manner hi which the Chartists had

      been treated by the Lancashire : magistrates during the recent disturbances . Ho said ho could not exprefs the pain and indignation he felt at statements that , had been made to him with regard to the . 'treatment / 'hot only of working men , but of men in a highly respectable station in lifs . Not that he thought the station of the working man was not equally respectable-rChear , hear . ) He would take for instance the Rev . James Scholefield , ¦ than whom , in Manchester , ' -, there ' was not a more respectable and upright man . He ( Mr . Duncombe ) said it with the greatest indignation , and he would maintain it before the House of Commons—( Cheers)—that the authority exercised durinfcthe recant persecutions , was far beyond any power that the law conferred , either on polictmen , magiatrat-s , or judges . Indignities and degradation were cast upon certain individuals in Manchester , in coiisequence of their conduct during the late Outbreak , which treatment was a disgrace to ths magistrates of

      Lancashire . —( Cheers . )—It was impossible , when the House of Commons was made acquainted . with the system of persecution and oppression that had been resorted to , and the manner in which tho law had been strained ,--br ratter hew laws had been made , to oppress those holding Chartist opinions , —it was impossible for the Houseof Commons to overlook sHch instances of oppression . He had heard of men being remanded for three or four days together , and being obliged to lay in the dixly cellars of the : New Bailey , Salford—respectable men , whom the parties committing thein knew were able to give sufficient bail in a moment ; thesowere rtmanded from day to day for the purpose of gratifying party feelings .

' took' place , —it was disgraceful to the country , and Still more disgraceful to th 8 House of Commons , if they did not protect the unfortunate persons who are liable to be exposed to such treatment . Mr . Duncombe then alluded to the cruelties to which paupers were subjected , noticed the unconstitutional powers with which Sir Jame 3 Graham had invested the police , and affirmed it as his opinion , that nothing but the .-People's-Charter- ' . coald secure the nation true liberty or prosperity . Having noticed the

      efforts of the League to raise a fund for the pnrpose of-effecting the repeal pi the Corn Laws , an attempt which , iii his opinion ' , - ' would prove abortive , and supply an additional reason of removing the master evil , namely , class-legis ' ation . Mr . Duncombe concluded by observing that he should bo satisfied if , at the ; end of his career , the working classes of this country were convinced that the only motives which actuated him throughout his career , wore a sincero desire to promote the happiness , iniprove tho social condition , aud extend the civil , religious , and political rights of his fellow-subjects .- '¦ ( Loud applause , ) . .. - . appiauseo .

The importation of Foreign Wheat , amounted during the week to 7 , 390 quarters . Of Oats the supply was by no means large , but fully equal to the demand . The trade throughout the week was extremely languid of both Wheat and Barley , and sales were with some difficulty made at a decline on the rates of the former week of Is to 2 s per quarter . To this morning ' s market the supply fresh up was moderate of Essex :

      Wheat , but toleraby good of other descriptions of grain . The demand for Wheat has not been sufficiently brisk to support the prices of last Monday ^ and all descriptions are about 2 s per quarter lower . Barley moves off at a decline of . Is to 2 s per quarter from this day week . Oats are held firmly , but little business has yet been transacted . The prices offered arc fully Is under Ia 3 i > quotations . Beans and Peas , both white and grey , are large in supply , and from Is to 2 a cheaper . The Seed trade is steady , with , only a moderate demand , tha arrivals of all descrip- - tions being very scanty . Flour and other articles find a demand only sufficient to satisfy immediate

      wants . : . : . / London Smithfield MARKr . Tj Monday , Nov . 28 . —To this morning ' s market there was about twentyone head of Foreign Beasts from Portugal , and nine Sheep from Hamburgh . Of the former , two were of a particular choice description , and attracted great attention : their Value may be quoted at 20 Kuineas each ; the others were of good quality , and . worth about £ 17 each ; whilst others may be given at £ 13 : to £ 15 each . Altogether this consignment : was superior to many of late . Inform and other particular features they resemble the Spanish breed , but are darker in colour , and easily distinguish able . The attendance of butchers was largo , but more from curiosity than for the purpose of buying- The mild state of th ' e weather contributes to limit their

      purchases , whilst the general supply was large , and far beyond what : was requisite to _ meet the demand . English bred B ? ast 3 were plentiful in supply , and generally of a better description than for some weeks past . Tho Beef trade being naturally dull , however , this improvement in the quality failed to benefit the market . There were more Yorkshire and ; Herefordshire breeds on eale , with a good sprinkling of . prime Scots aud Run ; s . Leicestershire Cattle were not so numerous as for many weeks latdy , Some fiue large Northampton Beasts sold at good prices , as also choice Scots ; but otherwise a decline of 24- per stone for the best quality must bVnoticed . Middling and inferior kinds were

      from 2-: T to 4 d lower , and found a heavy sale even at ' that , reduction . Many head were turned out unsold , and will be sufficient to supply tbe market on Friday next , although any beasts of a better , quality than in general will doubtless find a ' ready sale . The demaud for Mutton was dull , and the supply of Sheep being large , prices also for this dfis-cripiion of meat were lower by 2 d . per stone .

      CxIXDEKSOME . —Colliers Strike at Andrew Hill Colli £ RY . —The Colliers at this pit have struck work on account of the masters ynuing 'n the pits riddles , without any advance . They have already to get and fill four tons and three quarters ¦ cf coal per day , and remove nearly one ton of earth It is impossible for the coals to be riddled in the pits on account of the works rising so very much ; and the men defy the masters to prove that they 'have received more on an average than twelve shillings per week before the reduction was proposed . There is no dcub' that the masters will hold forth some flattering ' .-ffor to our fellow workmen , to come and h ? le them in iheir base work ; but do not ba deceived by them . Not long ago all around here , struck for an acrance of wag « . s . The m-.-n and misters

      then had a meeurg ; the masters proposed ihat if tl . e men wouH return to their work ; key could manage best ihstr ;; - ; Ives . They have managed . it to a fine tune ; th-sy have advanced the price cf coals fivepence per ten , on - " sheddy , " and instead of using seven-eight riddles at the top , they only use fiveeights , which is an advance of more than fixpeuce per ion en an average . But instead ofadvaiicing the men ' s wages a shi'ling a-day , accordicg to agreement , they have rednced them a shilling . We trust ihe public will no lotper be imposed en by the lE&siers ; for they told them that they had to advance the coals on account of having to advance the men ' s w <; ges . This we d ^ ny .
